1. When using snow socks with drive should I turn off DSC?
2. In the manual it says in certain conditions, the parking brake will automatically activate when moving the gear to P. So far I have not seen this happening. Anyone knows what are the conditions so that it works?
3. IN the settings of my ideate for Climate, I have an option to activate auxiliary heating with two different start time. I have not been able to turn this on as selecting this option does nothing. Is there some pre-requisite t activate this option?

1. No
2. I'm not sure how it works (movement or tilt sensor I assume?) but it self-engages on any slope, based on continued movement of the car
3. I'm pretty sure this is an option only, so it may show on I-Driven but not be activated - the full set-up does have an auxilliary heater for warm air but I believe is a 'cold weather pack' specced from the factory.

I think I understood how to engage automatically the Parkig break after parking my car, am I right this only happens after you put the gear on P and turn off the engine?

Anyone can recommend a mat for the boot?

It also looks like there is no safety net option for the boot (to protect passengers on the back seat when you have fully loaded the boot), has someone found a solution to protect passengers from sliding luggages?

Thank you!

If using socks, you could get away with just a pair on either set of wheels as they really only aid traction and don't do much for cornering/grip. However, in my VERY limited experience, I'd get a set of cheap wheels and put snow/winter tyres on, if you're somewhere where winter weather is harsh. (BTW, socks come in sets of 4 anyway usually!!)

Re the PB - as said above, my understanding is that it engages when in P, regardless of the engine 'state' based upon movement. I suspect it may self-engage on the flat when the engine of off though for obvious reasons!

After-market bootliners are not yet available for the 2-Series, but will no doubt appear soon. In the short-term it's either sell a kidney for a BMW one (ask in the Barons sub-forum for a price) or buy a generic after market one from a car accessory shop from brands like Cosmos, Sakura etc - making sure you know the dimensions of yours.

Oh ok. So you are saying that I should be able to park my car, put it into P gear and turn off the engine and the parking break would have been activated even if the red light on the parking break button is not on? Thx
